WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)	     General Commands Manual	    WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)

NAME
     wmanagerrc-update -- update your wmanager settings automatically

SYNOPSIS
     wmanagerrc-update

DESCRIPTION
     The  wmanagerrc-update  program  creates  or updates the ~/.wmanagerrc file
     with a list of X11 window managers currently installed on the  system.   On
     systems  that  do	not have a convention for registering X window managers,
     wmanagerrc-update simply copies the contents of the ~/.wmanagerrc.user file
     to ~/.wmanagerrc.

     On  systems  that	register  the	installed   X	window	 managers,   the
     wmanagerrc-update program adds all of them to the wmanager(1) configuration
     so that they are available soon after installation.  Currently, only Debian
     GNU/Linux	and similar systems that use the update-alternaties(8) mechanism
     are supported.  Locally installed window managers and things not registered
     as  alternatives  for  x-window-manager(1)  can  be  added  to   the   file
     ~/.wmanagerrc.user  in  the  .wmanagerrc format; see the wmanager(1) README
     file, usually /usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz, for more information.  The
     wmanagerrc-update program uses the entries first  from  ~/.wmanagerrc.user,
     then from the the registered window managers, in the order of update-alter-
     natives(8)  priorities.  You can override this by listing entries in wanted
     order in ~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated by whitespace.

BUGS
     Concurrent wmanagerrc-update processes may clobber the .wmanagerrc file.
